I was thinking about the movie "Pulp Fiction" the other day and this scene came to mind. I'm sure most of you know and maybe even remember it. For me, it summed up nicely some of the trivial differences and how entertaining they are.**********************************************************************
Vincent: ...you know what the funniest thing about Europe is?
Jules: What?
Vincent: It's the little differences. I mean they got the same s*** over there that they got here, but it's just there... it's a little different.
Jules: Example.
Vincent: Alright, well you can walk into a movie theatre in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup, I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald's. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f*** a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: What'd they call it?
Vincent: They call it a "Royale with Cheese".
Jules: Royale with Cheese. What'd they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "Le Big Mac".
Jules: Le Big Mac! Ahhaha! What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno. I didn't go into a Burger King. But you know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup?
Jules: What?
Vincent: Mayonnaise.
Jules: Goddamn!
Vincent: I seen 'em do it man, they f****** drown 'em in that s***.
Jules: Yuck!
